Schrader's new sustainable marketing practices encompass the following key areas:

Embracing the Digital Age: Schrader leads the change by significantly reducing the use and distribution of printed materials on events and meetings. The company will provide a comprehensive digital collateral library, ensuring easy access to information while minimizing paper waste.

Environmentally Sustainable Operations: Schrader aims to update its event management procedures to reduce environmental impact of its logistics and material handling. The company acknowledges the importance of maintaining a healthy balance between the needs of people, the planet, and overall business objectives. As part of these efforts, Schrader’s trade show booths will be designed for reuse in 80% of cases, further contributing to its sustainability endeavors.
